She was one of the leaders of a movement of poets whose ideal was \"beautiful clarity\"--in her deeply personal work, themes of love and mourning are conveyed with passionate intensity and economy, her voice by turns tender and fierce. A vocal critic of Stalinism, she saw her work banned for many years and was expelled from the Writers' Union--condemned as \"half nun, half harlot.\" Despite this censorship, her reputation continued to flourish underground, and she is still among Russia's most beloved poets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here are poems from all her major works--including the magnificent \"Requiem\" commemorating the victims of Stalin's terror--and some that have been newly translated for this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Akhmatova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307264246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307264244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Everyman's Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.46h x 4.50w x 0.74d","brand":"Anna Akhmatova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044195987711,"sku":"9780307264244","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b936e1c-64f0-4bcb-86a4-da66efb50cb5.jpg?v=1684971470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/akhmatova-anna-akhmatova-9780307264244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
